General Description. By removing the hook D, and pressing down the end of the lever, at b, the point at a is thrown upward and backward, leaving the sash to slide freely. On removing the fingers, the lever is thrown into use by the coil-spring'O, and is to be fastened by the hook D.

When the'fastener is applied to the upper sash,the lever-head a presses against the jamb-casing, and'the hook D is applied at the required point.

I am aware that cam-levers have been used before as sash-holders, and; held in position by cams or buttons. These, therefore, I do not claim as my invention; but

What I do claim is-- I The combination of the cam a, lever-handle 1), spring 0, and hook D, when constructed and arranged as described.
